What Should You Be Doing While Movers Are On Site?

Share This Post

Moving can be a daunting task, but with the help of professional movers, it can be much easier. When you hire movers, it’s important to be prepared for their arrival. You may be wondering what exactly you should be doing while movers are on site. In this blog post, we’ll cover some tips on how to make the most of your time while movers are in your home.

1. Finish Packing

If you’re packing items yourself, make sure that everything is packed before the movers arrive. However, it’s easy to miss a few items, so take care of those overlooked items while the movers are there. Keep all of your boxes organized and labeled, and try to keep them in one area for easy pickup when the movers are ready to load them onto the truck.

2. Be Available

You don’t need to be with the movers every step of the way, but it’s important to be available if they need to ask you any questions. Make sure you provide the movers with your phone number and a backup number in case they need to contact you. If you’re not going to be at the house during the move, designate someone to be ready to answer any questions or handle any unexpected issues that may arise.

3. Stay Out of Their Way

While it’s important to be available if movers need you, it’s equally important to stay out of their way. Movers are experts in what they do, and they have a specific way of doing things. Let them do their job without interference. You can help by clearing a path for them to move large items and staying clear of the loading and unloading areas.

4. Offer Refreshments

Moving can be a physically demanding job, so consider offering the movers some water or other refreshments. This small gesture can go a long way in making their job more comfortable. Don’t worry about providing a full meal, as they likely won’t have time to stop and eat, but a snack or drink can be a thoughtful touch.

5. Perform a Walkthrough

Before the movers leave, do a quick walkthrough of your home to ensure that everything has been packed and loaded onto the truck. Check cabinets, closets, and any other areas in your home that may have been overlooked. Double-check that the moving company has your correct contact information and that you have a copy of the inventory list. Finally, walk through your new home with the movers to ensure that everything is unloaded and placed where you want it.

Hiring professional movers can make your move significantly less stressful. When they arrive at your home, make sure you’re prepared by finishing packing and staying available for any questions. Be a good host by staying out of their way, and consider offering refreshments. Finally, make sure that everything has been properly loaded onto the truck before your movers leave, and perform a walkthrough of your new home. By following these steps, you can help ensure a smooth and stress-free moving day.
